The Our Burger
The house burger, named the way a family would talk about it. A Certified Angus beef patty with “government cheese”, the chain’s tongue-in-cheek name for American cheese, plus lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles and Paul’s Wahl Sauce. It is a well-made classic cheeseburger with a tangy sauce, nothing more and nothing less.
The story
The name is licensed, and not from the family you would guess. Tom Wahl’s, a restaurant in upstate New York, had been selling something called a Wahlburger for decades before Paul Wahlberg and his brothers opened in Hingham, Massachusetts, in 2011, so the Wahlbergs paid for the right to use their own surname on a burger. The reality series that followed ran ten seasons and drove the chain past a hundred locations before it contracted sharply. The burger itself stayed Paul’s: a chef’s home cooking with a house sauce.

About Wahlburgers
Chef Paul Wahlberg and his actor brothers Mark and Donnie opened the first Wahlburgers in Hingham, Massachusetts, in 2011, next to Paul’s restaurant Alma Nove. The name is borrowed: the family licensed “Wahlburger” from Tom Wahl’s, an older restaurant in upstate New York.
